The Las Vegas Design Center (LVDC) had a goal – they wanted to figure out how they can improve with assisting designers with their projects and increase foot traffic. In the past, designers have had to go all over the valley to complete a project, viewing sample after sample. That takes a lot of time, and the Las Vegas Design Center set out to create a solution. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all resources together in one room? IDS members and designers Cary Vogel and Lance Robins, from Interiors by Cary Vogel, were part of the solution.

 From the time I was a small child, I began pushing things around in my parents’ home. Basically, it was accessories because that was all I could move, but sometimes I’d hear a stern voice say, “Donna! I liked that where it was please.” (ooops ... my first unhappy client!).
But it wasn’t until a few decades later and while on a different career path that my husband Steve looked at something I’d designed and said, “For the millionth time: You should be designing for a living.” He HAD said it million times; but on that one day, it was as if I’d heard it for the first time. SO, I took off at 98 mph to back to school to study design (Temple & Parsons), closed down another business and opened IDH. We’ve been busy ever since and are now in our 12th year.

Australian residential buildings have seen significant changes over the past few decades, with the move from detached homes on large blocks to detached and semi-detached homes on smaller blocks, and growing numbers of apartments across the board. This shrinking of our residential spaces has required a significant reimagination of utility spaces such as the bathroom and laundry.
